In the £22 deep stack the blinds are 40 80 a player raises to 220 I reraise to 860 player A calls. IM holding KK flop comes J 3 7 all the chips go in. Anyway he wins with trip 3s. I asked him what he thought I had preflop and he says AA KK or AK lol I said nh sarcasticly. You just cant get some people off a hand......

    His mistake and your bad luck was the initial raise by him, once he done that, i reckon your raise gave him some 'hope' really you shoulda shoved here, yeh maybe he still called but better than a poxy 860 into a 440 pot! But unlucky though but im sure that dont help ya, but you get a lot of chancers here and elsewhere (including me lol) and you just gotta take the rough with the smooth

    If you could see his cards pre-flop you'd be begging him to call :-)

    If he knows you have A-A or K-K, the call is not that bad, as he knows he stacks you if he hits. It's called implied odds.

    You were unlucky, but his play is not that bad, imo.

    but it was not a quarter, he already had chips in when you raised and he did not know he had 2 outers, which he did not anyway, he coulda hit the straight lol, and as for 40 bb, in this tourney and this early people will take a punt

    Well I said "his play is not that bad", & I don't think it's great, but I'm trying to explain to you his potential thinking.

    I think if you asked that question of a lot of decent players, they might - might - make a case for the "implied odds" argument. NOT if he thinks you have, say, 8-8, or A-K, that's very different. But specifically against A-A or K-K, when he KNOWS he will stack you if he binks the set, really, the play is not anything like as bad as you are suggesting.

    It's certainly not a play I'd mock, or laugh at. And if I have the A-A or K-K, I'm happy if he calls me with 3-3. Most times...... We can't have our cake & eat it.

    When we have A-A or K-K & get no action, we often cry a little bit. But when we get action & & we get outdrawn, we cry a little more......

    Absolutely. More the merrier, too. It's potentially an interesting thread, imo.
